Title: Training method and a device for carrying out said method
Inventor: VASIN MAXIM ALEXEEVICH
IPC: A63B24/00
Filed: 2008-06-05
Abstract: The invention relates to training and can be used for learning and/or developing movement skill, fixing dynamic stereotypes and for training movement coordination. The aim of the invention is to provide a trainee with on-line correcting tactile feedback during training and to improve technics and rate of a movement by bringing it as close as possible to a reference movement. The inventive training method consists, when learning a movement, in digitising said movement, in comparing it with the digitised pattern of a reference movement and, if the trainee deviates from the reference movement, in receiving by said trainee a tactile feedback (tactile action) for on-line correcting said movement. The inventive device comprises sensors for on-line movement digitising, a computer for comparing the thus obtained digitised movement with the reference movement (specified by an expert or simulated on the computer) for controlling the tactile feedback elements and said tactile feedback elements for performing the correcting action.
